If it's one thing I learned, it's that I need more sensitivity in dealing with others, especially those in the 'waiting' period. <br /><br />In my weekly shiur, we were discussing inappropriate questions to ask- and one of them was: Do you have kids? Because that one has either a yes or no answer, and the no is completely insensitive to those who are waiting. <br /><br />And, I'm glad that looking back you 'enjoyed' the time before- because many don't. A woman I know does not attend community events, because she finds it too hard to even look at people who have children.<br /><br />Enjoy your little one, and may we all continue to grow from our experiences.nmf #7https://www.blogger.com/profile/02930286227301917330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389577238129687889.post-34332980302290821182009-11-17T23:42:33.482+02:002009-11-17T23:42:33.482+02:00It is very hard to be married and waiting.

The waiting is <b>very</b> hard, people may not understand what it means to wait, month by month and nothing is happening...<br /><br />I feel very lucky that I didn't have to wait as long as other people and now that I look back, I am grateful for the time I had before the baby, because after that, life changes so much and you are not your own boss anymore because you child runs your life, your schedule, your days and your nights! So I did enjoy the time before and b"h I'm enjoying the time I have now, I will be raising a child who is part of the future of our nation!<br /><br />I feel that I grew from the experience, even though it was hard and I feel I became a more sensitive and understanding person to those going through this painful experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
